..AWEN NEWS...AWEN NEWS...AWEN NEWS... The next Garden of Awen, our monthly showcase of the creative word, will celebrate Spring in an evening themed The Green Fuse, taking place on Sunday, 7th March, 7.30pm, downstairs at the Live Arts Cafe, Chapel Arts Centre, Lower Borough Walls, Bath. Special guests include The Children, poet Dawn Gorman, Chloe of the Midnight Storytellers and fiddle-player Ursula Toher. 
The soulful folk of The Children (above) has been honed over a decade by Armorel Weston (vocals, bass guitar) and John Gibbens (guitar, vocals), matching potent melodies and rich, poetic lyrics with a simple and propulsive rootsy sound.  Chloe (above) trained originally at London’s Central School of Speech & Drama. Before starting Midnight Storytellers in 1999 she worked as a freelance copywriter and editor, also enjoying 9 years training office staff throughout the UK and beyond. She studied storytelling with Alexander Mackenzie, Hazel Bradley and Michael Harvey, Emerson College, Hugh Lupton and Eric Maddern, and Shonaleigh. She belongs to the new generation of storytellers who love and respect the world heritage of traditional story, and who are also making space for fresh creativity - the stories for our future. Her continuing mission is To boldly take storytelling where it’s never gone before. Garden of Awen: The Green Fuse Sunday, 7th March, 7.30pm Chapel Arts Centre, Bath

Announcing the publication of The Immanent MomentPoems for Nowthe new collection by Kevan Manwaring'...light, rich, transparent, resonant...’ Jay RamsayThe sound of snow falling on a Somerset hillside, the evanescence of a water spout on a remote Scottish island, the invisible view from a Welsh mountain, the light on the Grand Canal in Venice, chasing the sunset on a motor-bike... The Immanent Moment looks at the little epiphanies of life, moments of lucid awareness and personal revelation. Each poem captures these fleeting pulses of consciousness in sinuous, euphonic language. A meditation on time, mortality, transience, and place, this collection is also ultimately life-affirming, with poems celebrating both the beauty of the natural and the man-made, the familiar and the exotic, and the interstices and intimacy of love. With humour and humanity, these poems gently encourage the reader to be fully alive in the miracle of each waking moment.ISBN: 978-1-906900-13-7 Foreword by Jay Ramsay37 new poems 80pp RRP £9.99 UK Postage FreeTo order email: publisher@awenpublications.co.uk
